The first single release in the US to bear The Beatles' name and it is spelled incorrectly on the label (as Beattles). This is a promo copy and therefore may have actually been released a few days to a week earlier. The release date is estimated but known to be right around the 20th. It failed to chart in the US Hot 100 despite it being a number one hit in the UK (on the Melody Maker charts and number 2 on a few other UK listings). VJ 498.DJ1.
